An investigation has revealed that organizations with close ties to Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party received substantial state funding through the National Cultural Fund (NKA) in four counties. Specifically, groups in Békés county were allocated 309.9 million forints, while those in Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county received 216.5 million forints. The total amount distributed to these Fidesz-affiliated organizations across the four counties reaches 900 million forints. The findings raise questions about potential favouritism in the allocation of public funds. Details regarding the specific projects funded and the criteria for selection have not yet been fully disclosed. This allocation is currently under scrutiny by investigative journalists and opposition parties. Further reporting is expected to reveal the full extent of the funding distribution and its impact.
